That feels like a moderately significant thing, and something I'll definitely be interested to see given that he's getting what may be a meaningful storyline of his own after A Call For Diplomacy .

It is a call back to the previous canon where Doji Hoturi's wife was a Foxwife who had taken the identity of a Kakita Artisan before their marriage. They have obvioulsy gone with it here as well.

Okay....is this implying Doji Hotaru's husband is an actual Kitsune, not just a former member of the fox clan?

I could see this being done by a Shugenja as well, and the Kitsune school is a Shugenja one.

Since he doesn't have any other invocations and is described in his write up as a Courtier seems unlikely.

There is also his ability to speak to animals that he conceals and that they specifically call him out as a shapeshifter in his description.
